National Security and Foreign Intelligence Analysis: Books

New Books

Finding Books & eBooks

It is impossible for a library to own every book, journal, video, article, etc. that a campus community would want to read or watch, but interlibrary loan fills that void. We participate with OhioLINK for a lot of our interlibrary loan items which provides us with intrastate borrowing and lending.

Finding Books

How do you find national security and foreign intelligence books in the library? Start with the item's location and call number.

Call numbers tell you where the item is located as well as its subject. The University Library uses the Dewey Decimal System to arrange all library items.
